"Name?" he demanded.
"Sarah Mackenzie." She swallowed hard. She would be like the ones
who had fallen, her remains something to be cleaned from the floor.
"Age?"
She tried not to tense when he brought his face to her neck and inhaled deeply.
"Twenty-two." The lie tried to stick in her throat.
He pulled back and gave her a dark look. "Try again."
"Eighteen," she whispered, tensing when his lips pulled back from his teeth in a shark smile.
"A lie, Sarah? How nice that you are not as innocent as you look."
The Dems have been held captive since before the world was made.
They are the darkness only spoken of in whispers. As much as they are
hated and feared, those who guard them are even more so. The pariahs of
society, they live apart from the rest of the world in a settlement
called Ameritat. That is where The Dems Trilogy begins. An unlikely and
dangerous love between a human guard and the most feared of all the
Dems. It will be the beginning or the ending of everything.
Sarah Mackenzie was never meant to be a guard, never meant to
descend into the bowels of the earth, but The Corridor is where she is
sent. With little information and even less training, she is thrust into
her position as a Dem handler. She walks a thin line between life and
death, as she tries to uphold her family honor and unlock the mystery of
the Dem’s captivity. The pursuit of truth will drag her deep into a
world of corruption, hatred, and greed and she will have to decide where
her loyalties lie. With the humans who have mistreated her or the Dem
who could destroy them all.
This sounds interesting ... going to put on my TBR list for sure!
